Case studies

The Institute of Leadership

Membership body – leadership and management CPD – redesign commercial learning product.

IoL wanted to transform legacy leadership content into a scalable digital learning offer, bringing their Five Values of Leadership framework to life within a new LMS.

We led strategic discovery, developed a content roadmap and design concept, then built 50 interactive modules in just 8 weeks, integrating them fully into the LMS. The result was My Leadership+, a modular, future-ready learning model with structured pathways, micro-credentials and stronger member engagement.

We continue to work as a strategic partner, supporting IoL with product strategy and ongoing LMS and content maintenance.

ECITB

Construction & engineering – F2F training design & visual redesign.

ECITB were facing challenges with outdated face-to-face content that no longer matched the look & feel and standard of their newly designed eLearning suite.

We rebuilt the face-to-face material around clear learning outcomes, using AI-supported rewriting, interactive elements and persona-led design to refresh and standardise their approach.

The result was content that matched the quality of the digital eLearning, with industry-specific illustrations bringing it to life.

Matter

B2B sales & marketing – video-led sales training.

Matter B2B’s sales team were struggling to cut through the noise, with cold outreach going unanswered and conversations failing to start. We designed a short, practical online course that helped their Business Development Managers use personal, confident video to connect with buyers in a more natural way. The result was more replies, better conversations and more deals closed, with video now a core part of how Matter B2B sells.

Interledger Foundation

Global technology NGO – end-to-end eLearning & LMS strategy.

We worked with Interledger Foundation, a global tech organisation, to bring learning to a complex, fast-changing environment with no existing strategy.

Through global discovery and persona-driven journeys, we designed interactive courses, sourced an open-source Moodle LMS to match their community-learning philosophy, and supported course building and team training.

UK Coaching

National coaching organisation – learning design consultancy partnership.

UK Coaching wanted to strengthen its approach to learning design and ensure future development was grounded in learner insight and best practice. We carried out in-depth discovery, including learner feedback analysis, product reviews and stakeholder workshops, to inform evidence-led recommendations.

The partnership has since grown beyond a single project, building internal capability, adding specialist capacity and helping UK Coaching take a more strategic, evidence-led approach to developing learning for coaches across the UK.

Development timelines vary depending on a number of factors:

Whether the content has already been written or needs to be developed from scratch
Access to a subject matter expert (SME)
Budget and scope
The level of interactivity and media complexity required

That said, we’re built to work at pace and scale. We can turn around high-quality eLearning quickly without compromising on standards. We’ll always agree a realistic timeline with you at the outset of a project and keep you updated throughout.

Yes, absolutely. We work with organisations to design training that your teams can deliver confidently and consistently. We take a thoughtful approach to format, considering whether the training needs to be delivered in-person, remotely via video conferencing, or through a blended approach.

We also consider whether supporting assets would add value, such as facilitator guides, participant workbooks, presentation decks, training videos, or a train-the-trainer programme. We’ll help you find the format that works best for your learners and your organisation.

Costs vary depending on several key factors:

Whether content has already been developed
Access to a subject matter expert (SME)
The level of interactivity required
The overall scope and volume of content

As a general guide, 30 minutes of eLearning, where content is already written, an SME is available, and a medium level of interactivity is required, would typically cost between £7,000 and £9,000 + VAT.

We’ll work with you to understand your project and provide a clear, transparent quote. We’re experienced at delivering quality within different budget levels and will always be upfront about what’s achievable within your budget.
